Pregnancy and the postpartum period often come with misconceptions regarding strength training, particularly when using traditional tools like kettlebells. Historically, medical advice has recommended avoiding exercises performed lying on the back, dynamic movements such as kettlebell swings, and resistance training in general during these phases. Recent evidence and clinical practice, however, strongly support the thoughtful application of hard style kettlebell training and anti-glycolytic training (AGT) for both pregnant and postpartum women, especially those accustomed to strength training before pregnancy. |
